Today we’re celebrating 2 incredible years of service to the residents with our amazing volunteer, Rebecca! 🎉💚

Rebecca always brings boundless energy, heart, and creativity to the sanctuary. 🤍 Whether it’s rolling out giant soccer balls for the cows to kick around, reading storybooks aloud to our goats and sheep, or playing tunes on her recorder to calm and enrich our residents, she’s always finding thoughtful and engaging ways to bring joy into their lives.

Rebecca’s always dreaming up new ideas, asking questions, and thinking about how to keep every resident mentally stimulated, emotionally supported, and simply entertained. ☺️ Her consistency and compassion are a huge part of our sanctuary’s heart. We are so grateful for every thing she’s done over the past two years (and counting!) and we know the residents feel the same.

“I love to be part of a caring, loving, go-out-of-their-way-for-the-animals team at Wildwood, because the animals deserve nothing less. I am continually amazed at the animals’ beauty, their kindness, their persistence, their abilities, their sounds, their sacrifices, their selflessness, their silliness, and more. They exemplify how all of us should strive to treat all of our fellow creatures, and it’s a privilege to know them and to do anything that can help them to live their best lives.”

Thank you, Rebecca, for being an amazing volunteer, awesome friend, and a comedian around the sanctuary. 🌷 Your unwavering commitment to making life for the residents not just safe, but joyful is truly inspirational.

Tino’s Turf, forever and always. 🤍

A heartfelt thank you to for generously donating this piece, and to our wonderful volunteer Rebecca for commissioning it. She and the talented Violetta have created several custom plaques around the sanctuary — each one a permanent and meaningful way to honor the friends we’ve loved and lost.

This beautiful custom plaque now hangs in our cow barn, a tribute to the gentlest soul who made such a lasting impact here at Wildwood.

Stage 2 of our Special Needs Bird Enclosure is underway! 🎉

With more detailed plans and timeline, lumber donations and discounts, and the green light from board members, we are making progress on our new habitat! With these updated plans we have new expected costs for this build.

Originally, the estimate was $2000, but after a more thorough review in making sure the design is structurally sound and lasts for years to come, the projected cost has come to $2700. We raised $500 because of our amazing social media audience which is going towards materials to get started. We are grateful for that immediate and generous support. 🤍

If you’d like to contribute to this ongoing project, please consider making a donation to the link below and leaving a note to let us know your donation is going towards our Special Needs Bird Residents. 🦃💞🐓

Huge shoutout to the Pearson Family for being so dedicated and invested in the well-being of our bird residents. This means so much to us and will mean so much more to the lives of our animals who will benefit so greatly from this kind of
comfort.

We have a new resident to introduce—meet Bobby! 🧡

We were contacted by Multnomah County Animal Services about a rooster who came in with injuries to his spur. Knowing that he would need more intensive care than what the shelter could provide and with the risk of him not being adopted because of those injuries, we could not turn him down.

Bobby is already winning hearts around the sanctuary with his sweet personality and handsome looks. He may very well still be shy and in his shell, but he’ll have plenty of time to figure out exactly who he is here in his forever home. 🥰

Bobby will spend 30 days in our isolation pen to make sure he’s healthy enough to join the rest of our residents and get used to the sights and sounds of Wildwood. Meanwhile, we hope to fundraise for his first vet appointment, medications, and a new habitat in Rooster Row that will give him the space to heal and live in peace. Can you help us give Bobby the second chance he’s been waiting for?

Welcome home handsome boy! We can’t wait to learn all about Bobby and who he is. Thank you for helping us give him the safe landing he deserves. 🌾

Yesterday evening we held a Tansy Pulling Party in the cow pasture! 🌼🌾

Tansy can be beautiful, but it’s also a toxic invader we work to remove every summer. While our cows avoid the plant altogether, it can still pose serious risk if ingested over time. Tansy also spreads aggressively, crowding out beneficial grasses and crops. It competes for nutrients, water, and space, reducing the quality of soil. Every plant we remove helps restore balance to the land and protect our animals.

Afterwards, we enjoyed vegan charcuterie, wine, and conversation with the sun setting on the sanctuary. It was a lovely evening led by Leslie, one of our amazing evening caretakers. 💛 Thank you Leslie, you’re the best! Spanky’s glad those pesky weeds are out of his way and he can graze with total peace of mind.
